Chef Ernest, Super Dave and the rest of the Burnt Bean crew have a truly one of a kind bbq joint in Seguin, TX. It was an honor to cover their story and get to experience first hand why so many people and organizations rave about the Burnt Bean Company! This video was recorded during a very trying time of my life and Ernest was a light for me. I’ll always remember and cherish his hospitality towards me. I’m forever grateful. Hope y’all enjoy! Like and share to help support this channel so I can make more videos in the near future. The next episode we are covering the Legendary Snows BBQ! Stay tuned and subscribe so you don’t miss it 🤠
We are spending 2 weeks next year coming from Australia to travel Texas and check out BBQ joints. This place has just hit the top of the list. This man is genuine as hell and absolutely loves what he does. I cannot wait to meet him
You captured the essence of Ernest Servantes, not just what he does, but who he is. BBQ is soul food, and you captured his soul. Kudos for your masterful use of music to tell and transition the chapters of this wonderful story. This is your best work yet.
thanks so much, doing the music and sound design is one of my favorite parts of editing these. also helps to have the WICKED-ly talented @chrisdoughtymusic making custom compositions like the last song on this video
Wow. The range of emotions that I felt listening to Ernest’s story. What an incredible video. I could have watched and listen to him speak about his passion for hours, so infectious.
@ you did an incredible job, as with all of your videos. I really don’t know how your channel hasn’t blown up. There are so many channels with a lot more subs who put out content that is nowhere near your level. Keep up the amazing work!
This brotha really loves what he does and it shows, I’m so proud of him and his team. I die everyday I have to drive a truck because all I ever wanted to do was make a living creating restaurants, but it makes me happy seeing someone who is as passionate as I am winning, it make my day a bit easier. Keep up the great work yall!!!!
By far the best video I have seen! I love how perfect you represented them, makes me a little teary eyed watching their dedication, what they have went through and accomplished. Thank you for this, truly!
What a great piece of art. Both the show as well as the people showcased. I live in San Antonio and have heard whispers of this place, but I’ll have to try it. The most impactful thing said was the last lines where he explains how he will get older and move to each station until he gets to sit at a table in the corner and sit and look and enjoy at what he created. Just wow!
Ant, your dedication to these BBQ stories is just as good as the BBQ these chefs are creating! You deserve a James Beard/ Michelin star for these documentaries! I keep saying this is the best one yet but they are all unique in their own special way! Thank you for telling their stories! I enjoy watching them just like you enjoy eating all that delicious food!
the passion of this man just glows through out everything in this video. thanks for shining the light on this special place. imma come see ya for sure my dude
Man you have brought some great bbq stories that brought tears to my eyes...but this episode was by far an emotional one for me...thank you for telling Ernest's story....the ending and his final words were the humblest of humbles....your videos are by far the best I've seen....you gotta release these on DVD or something brotha!!!....MOHALO!!!..
thank you so much, my goal is that in a few years i'll look back on these videos and be embarrassed by the production quality. Trying to get better every upload, I want to impact lives with these videos!
Your best work so far Ant! And finally a pitmaster/chef that doesn't act gangster because he's the first and only guy to do BBQ like they didn't learn from Franklin like everyone else's. "The BBQ gold rush", Ernest said it perfectly!
One of your best works yet. Thank you so much for sharing Chef Ernest with us. The way you closed it with him elaborating on working every position on the line and then finding his corner. Outstanding and has really hit home.
We ate here last week. We ate at 5 top Austin area BBQ joints in 3 days and Burnt Bean was THE BEST. Ernest and Dave are super nice. Their serving line is setup well and moves the line faster than other places we tried, but you never feel rushed. The sides are just as awesome as their proteins. We will definitely be back.
Passion+Love+Heart always wins! what a story and how down-to-earth you can be with honors like the James Beard Award?! just crazy! and Ant your videos are incredibly good! I have tears in my eyes every time… pls never stop your incridebel work
Everything said from that feeling of locking in at 1-2am by yourself to controlling Earth (wood) Wind (stack and door) and Fire was right on point. If you really love the process it doesn’t even feel like work. From a Pitmaster who went to Truth University BBQ college, I 🫡the work, the grind, the dedication and the tears of joy in proving yourself and your friend right.
I absolutely love your videos, Ant. I hope people are catching these musical cues, they're just brilliant. Ending with a melancholic "pure imagination" is *chef's kiss.
great ear! big thanks to @ChrisDoughtyMusic for composing that for me. I had a literal one minute conversation of what I wanted for the last song, and he nailed it on the first try!
Fantastic. Perfectly executed video, storyline, and blessing. I am now planning a trip from Houston. I will not be denied the pleasure of being just one patron of this awesome chef. Thank you for telling Ernest's story.
Loved their BBQ. Def one of the very tops especially the fatty brisket. My Model S was camped right behind that black truck out front overnight 😆 The tacos were killer. Nicest guy ever
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it, can't wait for you to see Snows BBQs feature in a couple of weeks, I'm so glad I got to meet Kerry, Clay and Ms. Tootsie and I can't wait for you all to meet them as well through my video :)
Great story! I am deeply impressed with Burnt Bean's simple, but profound business philosopy..."Decipline, Selection, Pride, Accountability, Consistancy." Great lesson to take away! Foods that are being served clearly reflect the chief's mindset. Hope to visit here someday from S. Korea.
Another great video Ant! Your BBQ interview stories are my most anticipated videos on UA-cam. Professionally filmed and edited. Keep up the great work Brother! 🙂
How the hell did i stumble upon this piece of artwork production. How did bbq bring a tear to my eye?? The willy wonka melody at the end was the cherry on top. BRAVO!
This is my absolute fav video of bbq. This dude is so genuine and his passion for people is just amazing. I’m making arrangements now for a trip to try this BBQ.
thank you so much, watching, liking and sharing which y'all are already doing is what's making these videos reach wider audiences and is growing the subscribers. So thank you!
Best one yet. Amazing production quality and a great story told. Side note: I really like how you cut out the questions you ask and just let the chef tell his story. It makes so much more immersive and captivating. I guess da pope be missing church on Sundays for bbq🤔
As someone new to cooking briskets I just want to say I've gone through so much of your videos in such a short period of time, it's absolutely amazing. Thank you for that Ant! I was out of propane for Thanksgiving and had to resort to cooking as 12 lb brisket in the oven and I found your recipe using the black Chinese tea and everyone loved it! Including my wife who loves brisket. I mean hell man, when I first met my wife, she could never eat a medium rare steak. That was a feat I had to accomplish on my own just to get her to eat medium rare steak. One thing I have to ask and I mean this in no disrespect at all, but how did you gain so much weight man? I'm just genuinely concerned. I mean I gained a lot of weight as well once I got married, but I was really surprised by your videos. Thank you for everything you've done for us. Please don't take this as a hateful post. I'm just very curious and hope you're doing well.
I remember watching this competition. I think it was him and Kent Rollins who were in the final maybe and both of their cooking looked absolutely next level. I’m so so happy for this man. Hard work paid off and it couldn’t happen to a better dude. I’ll put this on my list next time I’m in Texas!
Absolutely love your videos they are so bloody good keep keep up the great work love seeing everybody how are you interview hearing the stories see in the emotion thank you
This was freaking amazing. Ernests comment about not wanting anyone to experience the feeling of having your meat sold out made me love him so much. He cares so much about the people coming in.
I've been to Burnt Bean four times and I have never been disappointed. They have some of the best BBQ in Texas. Sunday brunch: The Casanova - so good! Spent the next four hours driving home fighting a food coma.
Great video Ant. Ernest is a great guy and your video told his story perfectly. This is one of the best videos you’ve ever made. Thanks for sharing it with us.
i told Ernest I wasn't sure how to make the intro for this because he had 4 incredible stories I could have started the video with. The chopped story was easily one of my favorites!
Thanks so much, I try to capture the feeling and the people that I experience with my short time with them :) working night and day on the next one with Snows BBQ. It will likely be out in the early new year if not sooner so keep a lookout!
Chef Ernest, Super Dave and the rest of the Burnt Bean crew have a truly one of a kind bbq joint in Seguin, TX. It was an honor to cover their story and get to experience first hand why so many people and organizations rave about the Burnt Bean Company!

We are spending 2 weeks next year coming from Australia to travel Texas and check out BBQ joints. This place has just hit the top of the list. This man is genuine as hell and absolutely loves what he does. I cannot wait to meet him
2nd Australian comment I've seen today haha maybe you should coordinate trips with the other commenter I saw lol
Try Smittys in Lockhart.

Such a great story and work ethic......love it!
I've eaten there twice and both times I was speechless. Ernest really cares about his craft. He is a big inspiration to me!
so many people who have restaurants were so excited when I told them I was doing a BBQ story with Ernest. He's an inspiration to A LOT of people
Wow. The range of emotions that I felt listening to Ernest’s story. What an incredible video. I could have watched and listen to him speak about his passion for hours, so infectious.
made me cry at the end when I watched it, and I edited the dang thing haha
@ you did an incredible job, as with all of your videos. I really don’t know how your channel hasn’t blown up. There are so many channels with a lot more subs who put out content that is nowhere near your level. Keep up the amazing work!

This is amazing, what a humble and excellent story. I like how you didn't rush the story you gave it the time it needed.
dudddee ethis film was so amazing! You did a tremedous job on showing chef ernest passion and emotions, Thank you!!!

thank you!
Ernest and Dave are special! So happy for this hard earned and well deserved success! Much love, fellas!
I absolutely love your videos, Ant. I hope people are catching these musical cues, they're just brilliant. Ending with a melancholic "pure imagination" is *chef's kiss.

Not only a chef but an artist. Great storytelling as well.

What an amazing story and equally fantastic video. I was consumed from start to finish. You did a great job, Ant! Thank you for this.

Great story! I am deeply impressed with Burnt Bean's simple, but profound business philosopy..."Decipline, Selection, Pride, Accountability, Consistancy." Great lesson to take away! Foods that are being served clearly reflect the chief's mindset. Hope to visit here someday from S. Korea.
This was a work of art! Inspiring to say the least!! You kocked it out the park, Ant! 👏👏👏👏
thank you so much!
Your video's are a standard to live up to, so good. Thanks man.

What a great film! I love everything Ernest stands for and I hope to get to his level one day.
Chef Ernest is truly a gentleman and legend of BBQ. Thank you sharing this story with us all.

A great American small business success story. Love his passion and work ethic. Wish I lived close enough to dine at the Burnt Bean.
this is the best one of these yet... great job Ant
thank you! that is my goal each time I make one of these, to be better than the last one :)
How the hell did i stumble upon this piece of artwork production. How did bbq bring a tear to my eye?? The willy wonka melody at the end was the cherry on top. BRAVO!

Amazing video. You’re like the HBO of foodies. Doesn’t matter the time period or setting. You bring the humanity and that’s what matters. Keep it up!
That last line he says….”I can just enjoy the view I worked years for, then I’ll be ok.” Respect Chef Ernest.
That was an absolutely fantastic watch! Thank you!
This is fantastic. Love his energy
it was so good, wish i had one right now :(
Best one yet. Amazing production quality and a great story told.
Side note: I really like how you cut out the questions you ask and just let the chef tell his story. It makes so much more immersive and captivating.

Amazing story, love the passion of the pope, and the food was to die for.
This was freaking amazing. Ernests comment about not wanting anyone to experience the feeling of having your meat sold out made me love him so much. He cares so much about the people coming in.
he really does, customer experience is a top priority for him
I LOVE IT! THE POPE OF BARBEQUE!! I AM ROLLING ON THE GROUND HAHAHAHA... AWESOME BRO!
That was an Awesome vid, Thank You Chef for everything you do !!
You're an Absolute Rock Star...
I've been to Burnt Bean four times and I have never been disappointed. They have some of the best BBQ in Texas. Sunday brunch: The Casanova - so good! Spent the next four hours driving home fighting a food coma.
the brunch is insane, so good. And the bbq is phenomenal, 100% agree with your review haha
Awesome- really frickin’ great documentaries! Remember watching Ernest on BBQ Pitmasters.
thank you!
Great video Ant. Ernest is a great guy and your video told his story perfectly. This is one of the best videos you’ve ever made. Thanks for sharing it with us.
thank you! Trying to get better each one :)
This guy has the best attitude. I wish I could be half as positive as him. Great food and great service.
Loved hearing his story about being on chopped. Food looks great.
i told Ernest I wasn't sure how to make the intro for this because he had 4 incredible stories I could have started the video with. The chopped story was easily one of my favorites!
Love it. One of my favs is making my own bbq sauce with some 5spice during the smoking on ribs or burgers. Stands nice with the apple cider vinegar.
Watched this video 3 times in one day my wife felt the same way you definitely captured this perfectly awesome video and and awesome restaurant
Thanks so much, I try to capture the feeling and the people that I experience with my short time with them :) working night and day on the next one with Snows BBQ. It will likely be out in the early new year if not sooner so keep a lookout!
Awesome story! Definitely on my BBQ vacation list!
Genuinely enjoyed watching that. Thank you
Excellent production. Entertaining story telling! thank you... lets eat!
Awesome video! Everything that Ernest offer at Burnt Bean is very good 💪🏽💯🔥
I love it. Awesome story. Next time I’m in Texas I’m for sure going to stop by
